Celeste agreed to it .
Jordyn then asked Celeste to send her to school tomorrow .
Celeste promised she would too .
She hadn’t seen Jordyn for almost ten days since visiting the hot spring retreat .
Thus , she stayed at the villa that night .
But she didn’t sleep in the master bedroom .
Instead , she wanted to stay in the same room as Jordyn .
The last time Celeste stayed with Jordyn was when Jordyn was sick .
However , Jordyn wasn’t sick this time , and she didn’t even ask Celeste to stay with her to sleep .
Jordyn noticed Celeste was showering in her bathroom . The latter seemed like she wanted to stay here for the night . Jordyn found it odd that Celeste chose not to sleep in the room she shared with Trevor .
She actually liked sleeping with Celeste as it felt cozy and warm to cuddle up with her .
So , Jordyn didn’t voice her question .
Since Celeste was staying with her for the night , Jordyn had to be more careful when she said goodnight to Wynn . She didn’t want Celeste to find out . It’d cause trouble .
It was around 11:00 p
pm when Celeste went to bed that night
Trevor still hadn’t come back .
She only realized that Trevor was out all night the next morning .
Celeste recalled the last time she saw Trevor – yesterday at the elevator . Trevor was leaving with Wynn then .
If that was the case , Trevor had probably spent the night with Wynn …
Celeste emerged from her thoughts . After sending Jordyn to school , she went to work at YodaVision Co.
Jordyn’s affection was obviously still directed at Wynn instead of Celeste . Her need for Celeste was sporadic .
If Jordyn hadn’t seen Celeste for a while , or if Trevor and the others weren’t around , she’d get bored and think of
her then
She wouldn’t need Celeste otherwise .
Just like these few days , after learning , Celeste’s injury had fully recovered , Jordyn wouldn’t call her every day like how she did before . She wouldn’t even ask why Celeste wasn’t coming home at night .
Trevor , on the other hand , never cared about her whereabouts .
YodaVision Co. had recently sealed two big deals and received some sizable payments . Thus , on Friday , the company decided to organize a luge team – building event .
The employees were the ones who decided where the team building event took place .
At last , everyone agreed on a hot springs trip .

Celeste was a little surprised when she received the news . Then , she smiled bitterly .
Matthias asked , “ Why the long face ? Don’t you want to go to the hot spring ? ”
“ It’s not that . ”
Celeste remembered how Trevor and Jordyn left her all alone at the hot spring retreat two weeks ago .
She felt like it only happened yesterday .
But in fact , the incident was a fortnight ago .
Time really did fly .
Although Celeste didn’t feel like going to the hot spring , she still decided to join the trip . After all , it was the first team – building event after she returned to the company .
The hot spring retreat she went to last time was a private place owned by the Fleming family .
However , the destination for the company’s team – building event was a hot spring resort . It was a huge resort with all kinds of amenities .
After changing into a bathrobe , she walked to the hot spring pool .
Celeste didn’t see her colleagues there when she arrived at the pool . She had barely soaked for a minute in the pool when she saw a little girl , about the same age as Jordyn squatting by the pool . The little girl was stretching out her hand curiously toward the pool .
The pool depth was around 4 feet .
And the little girl didn’t appear to be taller than 4 feet
Celeste was worried that she might fall into the pool . As she stood up , she heard a splash …
THE I
little girl really fell into the pool .
Celeste quickly walked over to her to pull her up . Then , she held the little girl in her arms .
The little girl wrapped her arms around Celeste’s neck . She was crying and coughing as her face turned red . Celeste patted her back lightly as she comforted her . She inquired about the little girl’s family details while bringing her to the staff .
As soon as she arrived at the gate , she spotted Beck in the distance .
Before Celeste could react , the little girl in her arms started crying again , stretching her hands toward Beck . Uncle Beck … ”
